City of Centerville <br />Park and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes <br />November 3, 2024 <br />that they were completing a park-by-park analysis of needs. Chair Erickson-Grahek suggested <br />planting a few trees around the Disc Golf course. Committee Member Fuchs stated that she spoke <br />with Mr. Palzer and Mr. Peterson from Public Works and discussed canopies around play structures <br />and proximities to the structures themselves. Committee Member Fuchs stated that the committee <br />was determining if there were existing trees that may need removal. <br /> <br />VI. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Centennial Fire Request – Public Safety Dock & Boat Lift (Trailside Park) – Item was <br />Moved from Item #5 due to Assistant Chief Montain’s schedule. <br /> <br />Assistant Chief Matt Montain reviewed the memorandum that was contained in the packet. He <br />stated that Centennial Fire District was requesting to place a dock for emergency apparatus to <br />respond to lake emergencies. He stated that in recent years, the traffic on the lake has grown <br />greatly and it has led to multiple calls. He stated that the department has access to the boat launch <br />similar to the public, but that he felt that having access at Trailside Park would allow for decreased <br />response time to emergency lake-related incidents. He stated that in the packet there is a permit <br />for a 2-year timeframe, but as in all public safety setups, the goal is the best service to our <br />community. He explained that the dock would be an aluminum roll in dock. It would be 16 to 22 <br />feet based on the positioning with an aluminum boat lift at the end for the 1995 Boston Whaler <br />(SFC boat 1). <br /> <br />Assistant Chief Montain answered all the questions the committee had. <br /> <br />Motion by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Akpan to <br />recommend to City Council the approval for use of Trailside Park by the Centennial Fire <br />District as outlined in the letter of September 27, 2024. All in Favor. Committee Member <br />Port nay. Motion carried 6 to 1. <br />2. Centerville Lions Request for Use of Laurie LaMotte Park – Christmas in the Park <br />Chair Errickson-Grahek stated that the event had taken place in the past without incident and that <br />it has been a verysuccessful community event. <br /> <br />Motion by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Freiermuth, to <br />recommend to City Council the approval of use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park by the <br />Centerville Lions for their annual Christmas in the Park event. All in favor. Motion carries. <br />3. Pickleball Courts – Laurie LaMotte Hockey Rink <br />Chair Errickson-Grahek stated that the Committee may want to consider the installation of <br />pickleball courts within the existing hockey rink. <br />Administrator Statz stated that the Committee should consider some of the less expensive <br />amenities that were brought forward by the recent Community Priorities survey such as additional <br />Pickleball Courts. He stated that Pickleball has become fast growing sport which is a mixture of <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
